Top Proven Seeds For 2003
If you are looking for a proven seed to plant this year, your
selection has never been larger. Fifty-three different seeds
have produced at least one thousand pounder.
So which are the hottest?? I researched the AGGC database for
all pumpkins and squash over 1,000 pounds and found 101
thousand-plus specimens. A look at their family trees revealed
some interesting facts. The most compelling is that the top
five seeds have produced over 40% of 1,000 lbrs.
Top 5 Seeds:
1. 723 Bobier - 16
2. 846 Calai - 10
3. 845 Bobier - 6
4. 705 Stelts - 5
5. 712 Kuhn - 4
Two more to take a hard look at are the 875 Dill and the 790
Daletas which have grown two each including a twelve hundred
pounder. Many of the rest of the proven seeds have been only
lightly planted so just how hot they may be is still a
question.
